Information that could save your hearing!
The ability to hear is of course very important, but many shooters still pay the price for not taking the necessary precautions.
Hearing, if lost can never be replaced. This is a potential disability you will carry for the rest of your life. There are plenty of different hearing protection systems on the market. For instance, we supply a comprehensive range from one of the leading manufacturers of hearing protection called
MSA Sordin.
MSA Sordin manufacture a wide range of ear defenders ranging from passive to electronic units to suit all types of public & private sector industry and recreational activities. Their headsets can be combined with safety helmets and various types of intercom and press-to-talk-systems.
It goes without saying that clay pigeon shooting and any other form of gun sport requires you to take extra precautions in order to protect your hearing.
MSA Sordin produce a range specifically for those who enjoy gun sports which are electronic (digital or analogue dependent on the model) and allow you to hear and have perfectly audible conversations with others while at the same time benefiting from the necessary level of ear protection.
The most popular models are:
The
MSA Sordin Supreme Pro X. This model is electronic and digital which reproduces stereo quality sound so that you are able to not only hear someone talking, but also to gauge in which direction the sound is coming from. The Pro X model is also waterproof and uses a minimal amount of power which in turn will give you an average of over 600 hours of battery life from just 2 AAA batteries! When the batteries do get low on power, you will be alerted.
The ear cup design is slim, so that it will not hinder your ability to 'shoulder' your gun quickly i.e. they will not get in the way!
Other key options are the AUX input for devices such as external radios etc.
Next in descending order is the
Supreme Pro IV.
This model shares most of the same attributes as the Pro X ,only that it is not waterproof but showerproof. Apart from that it is the same.
The entry model of the MSA Sordin Electronic ear defenders range is the
Supreme Basic.
This model although electronic, is analogue and not stereo. You will still get the same level of protection and ability to converse with others ,but you will not have the same '3-D' awareness that you will get from the other two models.
The Supreme Basic ear defenders are showerproof and do not have an AUX input and nor do they have the low battery alert system. Battery life from 2 AAA batteries is 150 hours.
The cup design is however exactly the same as the two other models.
The Supreme basic ear defenders do have an Automatic switch off built in.
This model may not have the same capabilities as the other two, but it may be all you need!
